Akai S1000 Project Machine

“Please read description: Doesn’t power up. Was working 2 years ago and has been left unused since then. Stored in house. Attempted boot up last week to no avail. Probably a power supply or switch failure – possibly something relatively easy to fix, but I’m not someone who would want to attempt a repair myself. Suited to someone who knows what they are doing. 8 channel output. Manual and boot disk included (although I wasn’t able to test the disk). ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Akai S1000 with SCSI

“This sampler was working really well with bright display backlight, with the optional SCSI card installed. However, I just moved house, came to set it up and found that it wouldn’t power up. From reading on line it is probably the power board, which can easily be repaired or swapped out for a cheap modern alternative. I thought about fixing it myself, but just don’t really have the time and I own too many Akai samplers, so rather than have it taking up rack space, I thought I’d sell it on for someone else to love, hopefully someone can bring it back to life.

Cosmetically, it is in pretty good condition for it’s age as you’ll see from the photos and it will come with it’s power lead.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Akai S1000

“*PLEASE READ ALL DETAILS BEFOR YOU BID* I’m selling my akai S1000 sampler. It has been upgraded to 8 Meg and is flightcased and comes with cracked operating system and a bundle of floppy disks.

It is fully working but has two minor issues. Volume knob is crackly when used so needs a clean or use volume on your mixing desk. The back light on the screen is dim so needs replacing but if you shine a light on it you can still use straight away. NEW ONES COST ABOUT 20-30 pounds. Other than that, everything is working fine. I’ve had it for 30 years and looked after it. It’s a glorious machine and I’ve produced several albums with it.

I’m also throwing in a whole heap of floppy disks. There’s samples on there that you can use or wipe, it’s up to you. These also come in a flight case. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Akai s1000 sampler with new Meanwell PSU and 4mb ram. Display is clear and bright, In clean condition for its age, volume pots and rec gain switch a little scratchy, they have never been cleaned, so some deoxit fader should make it 100%

All in working condition, some rack rash that is well hidden when placed into a rack. A beautiful sounding sampler especially when pitched from root note, one of the only samplers to use sinc interpolation afaik. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Akai S1000 Project Machine

“AKAI S1000 in passable cosmetic condition.
Asking price not entirely serious but parts included add up to over £600 elsewhere on eBay.
Make an offer on the whole thing or on whatever parts take your fancy … 2 x 8mb and 2 x 2mb RAM cards seem the obvious best bits.
Worked fine until it didn’t though inputs on XLR only. Arrived with a 3/4″ jack broken off in one of the jack inputs. Removed it but don’t advise sticking anything in there. One knob not original but a perfectly viable replacement. Don’t know if it was meant to have feet but it hasn’t any.
As I can’t guarantee anything now it won’t power on, so will refund cost of the item if returned but not postage in either direction, so offer accordingly”
